Early morning on Monday, October 9, 2017, wildfires burned through
Northern California, resulting in 44 fatalities. In addition, 6,200
homes and 8,900 structures and were destroyed. Author Brian Fies's
firsthand account of this tragic event is an honest, unflinching
depiction of his personal experiences, including losing his house and
every possession he and his wife had that didn't fit into the back of
their car. In the days that followed, as the fires continued to burn
through the area, Brian hastily pulled together A Fire Story and
posted it online--and it immediately went viral. He expanded his
original web comic to include environmental insight and the fire stories
of his neighbors and others in his community. This paperback version
includes 32 new pages that bring the story up-to-date. A Fire Story is
a candid testimony of the wildfires that left homes destroyed, families
broken, and a community determined to rebuild.
